Alcor, Cryonics Discussed on Boing Boing
February 1st, 2009 by Roderick Russell
Absolutely thrilled that Charles Platt posted two cryonics-related items to Boing Boing during his stint as guest blogger (haven’t seen Mr. Platt since that dark, secret meeting of death aficionados in Las Vegas back back in ‘97 - what a strange and delightful time that was). Disappointed, though, that discussion of it amongst the Boing Boing crowd has been characterized by “ill-informed knee jerk reactions and negativity” - as one reader commented. Definitely not, as another reader mentioned, the same crowd as the original Boing Boing print ‘zine, the early years of Wired, Mondo 2000 or Extropy.
Alcor Foundation, the larger of two companies that maintain people in cryopreservation, stores cryopreserved bodies, heads, and pets in beautifully made stainless-steel cylinders known as dewars. These are vacuum-insulated (like giant thermos flasks) to minimize the boiloff of liquid nitrogen. …

Figure Out Why You Don’t Stop Smoking Now
You may be struck by the saying that the blue ribbon trace in solving a trouble is admitting you have one. As cliché as the adage has befit, it is undeniably true. You set up to human being faulty why you smoke in kind to cause rid of those reasons and replace them with reasons why you should not smoke.
Stop Smoking Immediately
It is easier to skip smoking if you do it with a team of people who are struggling at the same time. You can put each other in line and propose advice and prop up through the hard times. There are a number of online resources for the purpose of quitting in groups, and your district medical centre may have meetings as well.
Throw Out Smoking Related Stuff
Perhaps the initial consonant with in quitting smoking is to climb up rid of all tobacco products, lighters, matches, ashtrays, and anything that smells strongly of smoke and can’t be washed. You are less able to start smoking again if there is nothing that reminds you of it lying around.

Прочитала статью и вспомнилось несколько крылатых фраз ” Время - наилучший учитель жизни.” Вот уж точно, ведь еще и полгода назад я и понятия не имела о многих “словечках” из этой статья, а сейчас уже подросла немного как блоггерша, можно и нос поднять кверху. И вообще порой время тянется так медленно, что кажется, что оно остановилось. В такие моменты я залезаю в интернет и времени просто не хватает+ да и у вас блог, должно быть отнимает уйму времени.
